dc.description.abstractCyberbullying is on the rise due to adolescents’ access to telecommunication devices. This study therefore investigated incidence of cyberbullying among students in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria. The study's population included all secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis, with the target population consisting of all students in selected schools across the city's three Local Government Areas. This study enlisted the participation of 400 students. A researcher-designed instrument titled “Incidence of cyberbullying Questionnaire (ICQ) which was validated by experts and has reliability coefficient of 0.79. Percentage was used for demographic data and in answering the two questions raised. Hypotheses formulated were tested using t-test and ANOVA statistical tools at 0.05 level of significance. In terms of perpetration, 34% of the respondents reported threatening other students on frequent basis while 30.3% frequently attacked sexual identity of others. 51.8% of the respondents have witnessed cyberbullying and 49.8% of the respondents have been excluded from online group. The result of hypotheses revealed that inschool adolescents do not differ in the perpetration of cyberbullying across age group, gender, religion, school type and time spent online. However, respondents differ in the perpetration of cyberbullying based on their level of competency in the use of communication devices and social media sites use. In-school adolescents do not differ in their experience of cyberbullying victimization across the tested variables. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that school counsellors should design programme to teach skills to secondary school students about responding to potential cyberbullies.en_US
